You're welcome! :blowkiss: Other things that stand out to me are:
The fact that they said the glass top of the coffee table was knocked over by Darlie while "creating" the crime scene; yet, in the crime scene photos, the table is upright with the flower vase in place. One LE testified that not only was the table in place; there was no damage to the flowers or the vase when they entered the crime scene.
The jewelry on the breakfast bar wasn't stolen - Because that's not what the "intruder" was there to do to begin with. They weren't interesting in stealing anything.
The screen was reportedly cut from the inside? There was nothing to keep a resident from cutting a screen with their own knife, going out the front door, dropping a sock in the alley, then climbing back in through said cut screen.
How did Darin sleep through the chaos and the baby was left unharmed?
One more thing you might find interesting - One of the responding LE officers on this case is now our Chief of Police.
All IMO, of course.
Yet Darin testified that the glass table was on it's side when he first ran downstairs and thought that that was what had cut Devon.
Q. Yes, sir. What did do you when you
9 saw Devon there, near the glass table?
10 A. Well, the first thing I did was, I was
11 looking for any glass that could have been -- fallen, or
12 broken, or went into him, and I couldn't see anything and
13 I was --
14 Q. Where was the table?
15 A. The table was completely down. It was
16 fallen. The flowers had completely fallen off of the
17 table.
18 Q. All right. The table wasn't sitting
19 slightly askew, and on its base?
20 A. No, it wasn't on its base, it was
21 completely down to the ground.
The CS is first video taped as is, then photographed as is, then the investigators start to move things around, like pillows and tables, in order to look for more evidence.
The screen was first reported to be cut from the outside but after more tests, they realized it had been cut from the outside.
The screen was cut with a knife from the Routier kitchen as the screen fibre and debris on it prove.
I won't comment on the jewellery...that would leave no motive for a stranger to attack two sleeping boys.
Sound tests conducted on the house prove Darin would hear nothing from downstairs.
